• I review novels to make money, because it is easier for a sluggard to write an article a fortnight than a book a year, because the writer is soothed by the opiate of action, the crank by posing as a good journalist, and having an air hole. I dislike it. I do it and I am always resolving to give it up.

The 15 may be 10 or 500, but those years should be intellectually the most creative and exciting in the history of mankind.

  But we've made good friends too.
